Second that!

We electrified!...who knows how long it'll last...my sister had to
evacuate her home...third time and 4 or 5 years she's been directly
affected by wildfires...losing her house in one of them.

Had a helicopter flying over the neighborhood twice today...prolly
looking at transformers to check for damage...just a guess.

Bell 407 registered to Redding Air Service Inc. out of (no kidding)
Redding CA. Looks like they do a little of everything helicopters can
do.

Scary reports coming from down there, and appears it's not close to
all over. Thinking good thoughts for y'all.


PG&E is turning off electricity again later...for my PG&E zone, it's
projected to happen at 11PM...at least I'll be in bed.



On another forum one guy was gloating about
how the state was pushing electric cars and
now their recharging stations are idled. I had
to point out that without electricity gas station
pumps don't work either.

Thankfully we can charge our cars via our rooftop
solar panels, but I didn't mention that........




We have recharging stations all over town and I never see them being used. How
much does it cost?...or is it free?

I just got back from Luckys....long lines of people buying large sacks of
ice...and store employees replacing them by the pallet load!! My fridge's
freeze kept the existing ice from completely melting for the entire time.

The only thing about the power down was no TV to watch the Warriors play the
Pelicans...got it on the radio but of all the stations, it was the ONLY one
coming in broken.
